WOW yet another SUPERB image from that night Wes! I also find these concentric craters very cool!!

P.S. This will be my last posting for a little while, I'm busily packing for our expedition to Baja (taking the 18" with me!) wish me luck with the seeing gods/goddesses!

Hi Alan,

I'm back from a long internet forum hiatus! Took a break from imaging since Oct since the weathers been so crappy! I know what you mean about the focal length decision sometimes ya cant fight the conditions! Still I love the subtle pastel colours in your image and the detail is sweet for the seeing!

Meton area and a Panorama from Baja

Posted By Mike Wirths
And here is a shot crudely stiched together with PS CS, its taken near where my Wife and I are buying a property in the SAn Pedro Martir park in N Baja. Its at around 8000' elevation on a really clear day, I estimated that the visibility was around 80 km! You can see some volcanic cinder cones along the coast.
It looks like we may be ready to purchase by march/april.

Very nice wide shot Wingko! Afocal shots like this are a lot of fun to do because you get to see the results right away!

Saturn from WSP 2007

Hi John,

REALLY exquisite banding detail on Saturn! I'm sorry I did'nt get a chance to meet you, were you set up on the beach by the berm?
Its too bad the jetstream was parked over us (and the clouds!) but hey thats the nature of starparties you get what mother nature decides for you!
I think I may get a colour cam for stuff like Jupiter eventually, for us alt/az dob users theres just not enough time to get enough RGB frames using a colour wheel.
Question how come you did'nt subframe the SKYnx for a much higher framerate?

cheers
